There's something quietly touching about this ensemble, especially in how the actors give depth and soul to material that can feel more like a collection of whimsical ideas than a fully shaped story. Go to Full Review

Cecilia R @CeciliaR. Dec 8 The film is incredibly poetic, touching and philosophical. I almost never recommend movies, but this one is truly worth watching. The world needs more Crisóstomos in times like these.

The actors deliver astonishing performances, transforming silence into poetry. There’s an intense emotional depth in this outstanding work, created by the directors, actors, and the very book itself. See more Cassia D Nov 30 This film invites us to rehumanize our relationships and ourselves. The cinematography is amazing and changes according to the action. Rodrigo Santoro is a powerful presence, and the story of a family reunited by affection feels very contemporary. See more Silver S @IdSSilver Nov 29 Lindo, delicado e com atuações magníficas.
